Yesterday, I heard the purr of my white CB so I took her out for a 521kms/323 mile ride to Tobermory, ON.
I love this route/region, and been there multiple times, by bike and car.

Weather was so perfect; warm, sunny, minimal wind/traffic and new pavement for almost half a distance.
Gassed her up on a side stand and I rode cruising 80-100 kms/h, just under 2900rpm/min, mostly in 6th, so fuel consumption was minimal.
I just couldn't believe, I made my round trip/521 kms with one tank ( I have DLX/Japanese EX size of about 17-18 L). My previous record was 495 kms.
If I did fill up while on centre stand, I would assume, I could hit 550 kms under these circumstances....and this is my new challenge possible this Friday.
Normally, freeway rides at a higher speed will let me make slightly over 300 kms.

When I came back home, there were two surprises at the door step, both for my DLX, front fender extender and side stand enlarger, professionally made for CB1100.
